Abstract

Genomic prediction is successful in single breed genetic evaluation. However, there is no achievement in acoress breed prediction until now. This thesis investigated genomic prediction across populations and breeds using Chinese Holsterin, Nordic Holstein, Norwgian Red, and Nordic Red. Nordic Red includes Danish Red. Finnish Ayrshire, and Swedish Red. The results indicated that genomic prediction across breeds is feasible when there is relationshop between breeds, and it's not work when two breeds are distantly-related using our implemented methods.
